| San Francisco. The city used to have a very extensive network of cable cars. Only three lines now remain, with the Market & Fisherman Wharf's line being the longest. Riding on the footboards is the only way to travel on them in my view! The LH photo shows the turntable at Market Street and in the RH photo, crowds waiting to board. (33Kb) |
San Francisco. The city also has an extensive network of trolley bus routes and a streetcar system which features restored streetcars from other US cities and also from various foreign cities.(49Kb) |
